Why Antifouling Paint is Essential for Ocean Boats: Reducing Fouling, Fuel Costs, and Environmental Impact
Ocean-going vessels face a unique challenge: marine organisms such as barnacles, algae, and mussels tend to attach themselves to the hulls of boats. This phenomenon, known as “fouling,” can significantly impact the performance, durability, and safety of the vessel. To combat fouling, antifouling paint is applied to the hulls of ocean-going boats. This specialized coating…
